1  Economy / Scam Accusations / attn mods: please remove false feedback from my trust profile on: June 16, 2013, 04:26:43 AM
user CanadianGuy is now blatantly lying and posting false feedback, out of spite and revenge. i am requesting this feedback be removed. he has already stated publicly on the forums that he refuses to pay me, so in his own words he is lying in his feedback that he left for me. if you need further proof, i gave my btc address in the original bet thread, you can search the history on blockchain.info and see that he never sent me any coins

this guy is a self-admitted scammer and deserves to be tagged as such, and imo he should be permanently IP banned from this forum
2  Economy / Scam Accusations / CanadianGuy - self admitted scammer on: June 11, 2013, 09:40:34 PM
to start, his quote:

like i said, I have no problem scamming YOU, as long as I have paid everybody else
...

does anything else need to be said?
heh.

full thread here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229784.0

summary:

  • CanadianGuy starts the thread, making a prediction that btc price will reach $120 by Monday, and accepting bets on it
  • initially 3 people post that they will accept the bet
  • i post that i will also accept the bet for 1 BTC, and i specifically ask for him to make another post confirming the bet (and one other bettor does the same)
  • CanadianGuy posts and confirms our bets
  • he loses the bet, comes back to the thread and says that he is paying only the 3 initial people, leaving out me and the other guy
  • other people (4 total: other bettor, me, and 2 unbiased third parties) show him that he did in fact confirm our two bets and that he owes us as well
  • he then responds telling everyone that we are wrong, telling us to "re-read the thread."
  • at this point, i accuse him of being a scammer
  • only after i accuse him of scamming, does he then admit that he does indeed owe us two
  • however, he doesn't like the fact that i called him a scammer, so he refuses to pay me. he claims that i should have been more patient and polite. apparently if you are not patient, then it is ok to get scammed.

now, it is no longer an honest mistake.
now, he is willingly and knowingly scamming me, which he admits in his own words.

3  Bitcoin / Project Development / is there a simple widget or javascript to display a price in BTC? on: April 26, 2013, 11:41:42 PM
suppose i am selling something on my website for $100.

i would like to put something on my website that will update with the current equivalent market price in BTC. i don't want to hard code the price as 0.75 BTC because the market is so volatile that that price might change tomorrow. i don't want to have to keep updating the price. i want it to just query gox and update itself.

any ideas?
